Staff were very friendly and helpful - campground facilities were very well maintained - we have stayed here twice now and would happily stay again.

Very nice 4 day stay. Most amenities were close except for one pool. We were so busy looking at all the sights, we didn't get a chance to see much of the campground. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and nice. Showers could use a shelf or a stool to put your stuff on. Otherwise this was a beautiful place to stay. We will be back!

It was a great time. We rented the reunion hall and getting to it needs better direction to get there and parking was tight and steps were a little challenging

This was one of my favorite campgrounds of all time, and half the stuff was closed (we came the day after Labor Day). Sites are nice and well layed out, there is plenty of space for maneuvering around, there are a lot of amenities for kids, it's in a beautiful and convenient location, the price is great, and the staff is amazing. I really don't have anything negative to say about it.

There should be an "off season" rate.

It is in a great location, being close to many different tourist attractions. The scenery is absolutely stunning. The amenities are quite nice for all ages to enjoy. Good fun for all. I was extra blown away by the little things. For example, when we went to leave, our camper tires needed air. I was on my way to ask if they had any and found a spot for air! It was the cherry on top as we left.

Very nice park. Sites are roomy. Plenty going on. Clean, level sites. Definitely a place to stay

To many cut through camp site from tents to use restrooms.

We have stayed here twice now. We’re locals and like to head down after most of the tourist have gone. Last year our experience was very good. This year however we were not happy. The bathrooms and shower house were absolutely disgusting. WiFi doesn’t work well enough to stream anything. Guest showed up at our site 3 hrs before check in and asked us to leave because he wanted to check in.

Nice resort with plenty of amenities. The spaces are a bit tight with the rows between a bit narrow for longer vehicles to get in and out. Beautiful layout though.

This KOA is incredible! Has everything you can imagine! Will definitely be back!

I have worked a a few KOA’s & stayed or visited dozens of others. This is without a doubt the best KOA I have ever been to. Looking forward to coming back for a longer stay.

Very clean.

Great facility enjoyed our time. For all the kids activities which makes it very kid friendly, the WIFI could be greatly enhanced.

We have been coming here twice a year for at least the last 7 years and have never had a bad experience. This KOA is awesome! The staff is friendly and helpful. Everything you could possibly want to do is right here at the campground. The grandkids never run out of fun things to do. I highly recommend Palmer Gulch KOA.

Too short. Didn’t have time to take advantage of the numerous resort amenities. Great place!

Excellent KOA. Rent a car from the campground to tour the area.

We stayed here at the very beginning of the “off season”, so everything was closing up. But still an overall great stay! There are several playgrounds for the kids, so they are never board even when the extras are closed up. The ice cream was good too!

The bees were horrible. There is no reason these are not treated by pest control. Our dog got stung twice and had to stay in the camper. We have stayed here yearly for 5+ years and never had an issue before. The new $100 rate to reserve the same spot is ridiculous. We have paid $30 for years.

Great location, great stuff and great activities. Minus one star because charging EV is not allowed, minus another star because park doesn’t have a dedicated EV charging. It’s a shame and a corporate greed the policy against EV charging. If I pay for electricity and I want to have my AC off so I can charge my EV that’s a choice that I get to make. And no, the pedestal will not overheat.

Great location and camp design and amenities.

Nice location, close to everything & you pay for it. Stayed for 7 days & friends had a wedding here. Dog park is one of the worst I have seen for such a large park. Very few dog or pet stations. I think I counted 2 plus the 1 in the dog park. Sad. Tried to use the spa & it was broke a couple of days. On our next to last day, Pizza shop ran out. That night the restaurant onsite closed for season.

I truly loved the Mount Rushmore KOA but never realized after September 7th everything basically shuts down which is disappointing, the coffee shop, one of the pools and laundry area. I thought I could do laundry and lay by the pool but the pool near the laundry was shut down. I believe you should wait to close everything after labor day, not on labor day.The employees were very kind and helped

As usual it was awesome. Have stayed here many times and will. Continue to come back

We were put in #386, at the upper end of the campground. Although we had premium amenities, the view was lacking in that we faced the maintenance buildings. Plus, it got very dusty from constant traffic of KOA vehicles going to and from those buildings. I can see why families stay here with all the things for kids to do, but not so great for couples liking quiet. But everyone was very friendly.

Always love staying there.

We loved the entire thing! You won’t be sorry, make the reservation!! Even though the place was packed it never felt crowded. Pancakes, friendly people, a great central location for the places and drives. Thanks

Fantastic stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great amenities and lots to do. Only one negative…kids were going way faster than the speed limit on their E bikes. Very dangerous.

Just wanted to say Bob, who is one of the host that leads in the RVs to their camp spa was awesome. Everybody actually was very very good. Bob stood out to me because it was very kind to us the whole time checking on us and making sure everything‘s fine horseback riding was fantastic and yes, I will recommend anybody to go there and we loved it there. it was a wonderful experience for the Espino

This is our 3rd time staying at Palmer Gulch and we love it. Have always had a great experience however, there was 1 staff member that was extremely upset that my kids (8 &10) were riding their dirt bikes through camp to get to the trails. After reading the rules it is okay as long as they aren't speeding through camp. I hope someone explains this to him so he doesn't block off the road again.

Two adults in our 50’s. No kids with us. We had not stayed at such a crowded campsite before and was not able to put patio down on toy hauler. That was my fault for not adding patio length to reservation. Very fun place for families. All staff the was amazing and always ready to help. Well maintained and clean property. Love the location near plenty of outdoor activities. Thank you.

Put my spot on file. I’ll be coming back.
Sep 08, 2026
There’s plenty of activities for the children to do. It’s close but to the scenic activities that we do. The bathrooms could have been maintained better for the amount of people that were there. Overall its nice place to stay at

Such a beautiful place. Clean, friendly but since it was near the fall season the store was closed.

This jam packed KOA has it all. 2 pools. Waterslide. Playgrounds. Restaurants on the property. Horseback riding. Rodeo. UTV rentals. Lots of activities for the kids. Bounce pillow. It's right down the road from Mount Rushmore. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Cell phone reception is pretty poor, but you can't blame KOA. WiFi is pretty good if you are near their hotspots. There was always KOA employees ripping around, which they should slow down a little bit. We did experience the bees as mentioned by other reviewers. Everyone had a great time and we enjoyed our stay.

Great first experience with KOA! The reservation process was easy, and changing our dates was very convenient. Communication with Dee Dee before arrival was excellent, and check-in was quick and easy. The campground was clean, especially the bathrooms, and all the guests were very respectful. The sites are a little close together, so I would probably avoid the busy summer season. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely stay here again!
